About backing up and restoring smartphone data

If you have installed the
BlackBerry®
Desktop Software on your computer, you can back up and restore most of your
BlackBerry smartphone
data, including messages, organizer data, fonts, saved searches, and browser
bookmarks using the
BlackBerry Desktop Software.
For more information, see the Help in the
BlackBerry Desktop Software.

If you haven't saved anything on your media card, you can back up and restore most of your smartphone data using your media card.

If your email account uses a
BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, you might be able to restore synchronized organizer
data to your smartphone over the wireless network. To restore synchronized
organizer data over the wireless network, you must have an activation password.
For more information, contact your administrator.

Research In Motion
recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer,
especially before you update any software. Maintaining a current backup
file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if your smartphone is
lost, stolen, or corrupted by an unforeseen
issue.
